Holding a red flag, they ambushed in the vicinity of Zhaoying by taking a path. Then they lined up to lure the Zhao army. When the Zhao army poured out, the Han Army pretended to be defeated and retreated. The soldiers who had been in ambush rushed into the Zhao camp and hung the red flag of the Han Army, so the Zhao army was defeated.
